Trans Kansans sue to halt law tying licenses to biological sex
TL;DR Summary
Two transgender Kansans filed a lawsuit to block a new law that invalidates driver’s licenses and birth certificates unless they reflect biological sex, allows license surrender for new IDs, designates bathrooms by biological sex, and lets aggrieved individuals sue. The law, which took effect Thursday, could mean about 1,700 license cancellations and 1,800 birth certificates reissued; the ACLU says it violates Kansas constitutional protections, and Gov. Kelly’s veto was overridden by the Legislature.
